the Zilo Beast
(Malastare).
Tanya was stunned the sinkhole was massive and had taken many clones and her own troops as well as equipment.
After she had calmed down from the adrenaline rush and her surprise of the sinkholes size Tanya turned To Grantz.
"Take some mages down into that sink Hole and see if you can recover any survivors." She ordered.
Saluting Grantz Took off followed by 12 mages. Landing in the hole they activated flash lights. "Spread out and if you find anyone Take them to the surface." He commanded.
The others nodded and began to split up. Walking along A wall Grantz Notices some hand prints some looking like they were Dragged.
Curious Grantz followed them stumbling onto a clones helmet. Picking it up he couldn't see the body. "Skywalker I think you should come down here Bring Visha." Grantz Instructed to his communicator.
"Got it." Both mentioned people replied.
After turning his comm off he was Joined by two of his men as they began to walk across a rough patch in the ground.
"This seems unusually rocky." One of them spoke up.
"I got a bad feeling about this." Grantz replied.
Suddenly the ground began to shake as teh mages hovered in the air as a large head turned to face them and roared.
"FIRE NOW." Grantz Yelled to his men as they unleashed artillery spells at it.
"WE'RE NOT FAZING IT." One yelled as he was knocked into a wall and killed.
"MARSHALL WE NEED BACK UP." Grantz yelled frantically into his communicator.
On the surface Tanya ran to the mage battalions arming themselves.
"GO GO." She yells pointing to the hole as Visha raced forward following Anakin with 200 mages
"R2 turn on your scanner so can't see. Never mind." Anakin says staring at the beast in front of him.
Angry at being awoken and interpreting the star fighter as a threat The beast lunged forward and took out Anakin's ship which had been circling around trying to distract it as Sereberyakov met up with them.
As the beast tried to kill Anakin 200 mages descended into the hole and fired at it.
"SURVIVORS SECURED EEVRYONE RETREAT SOMEONE GET SKYWALKER." Visha yelled as the mages continued to distract the beast while conducting a fighting with draw.
As one mage grabbed Anakin and raced to the surface the beast swung its arm and knocked down an entire company into its mouth.
With the last of the mages retreated Tanya ran forward followed by tanks as the dugs set up artillery.
"Fire at the monster." She ordered as tanks and cannons and rockets unloaded flying towards the beats driving it back into the hole.
After an Hour of Shooting at the beast Tanya called for them to stop. Her men obeyed and the dugs did so but Tanya could tell they were reluctant.
Eventually Anakin walked over to them and doge urus approached as Anakin finished complaining about his lost fighter.
"That thing is a Zillo beast they once roamed malastare devouring our ancestors. However once we began harvesting the fuel they were killed off.
They are supposed to be extinct apparently they aren't." He growls.
Tanya shoots the Jedi a furious glare knowing her bosses would not be happy with this development.
Doge urus gave the order to his men to resume firing while Tanya's men stood on stand by for her orders.
(Time skip).
After informing the council and receiving her mandate which was now to kill the beast she marched to Doge Urus's tent.
However she was still furious not only had the republic gone behind the council's back and deployed a weapon of mass destruction without their knowledge. They had created a bigger problem in a predator that apparently nearly wiped out an entire species.
Entering the tent she sees Dugs Urus with a map of the beast.
"His weakness." He points out to his accomplices as Tanya enters putting her hat on a Nearby table.
"What's the plan." She asks taking a seat.
Urus is about to speak but then the Jedi enter.
"What are you doing." Windu demands.
"What our ancestors taught us we were warned one would return and wipe us out we are merely finishing what they started." Doge Urus replies angrily.
"I respect your ancestors and traditions but I cannot condone the killing of a unique life form." Windu retaliated calmly.
"It is a blood thirsty monster did you forget it tried to kill you." Urus argued.
"If I may Doge urus it likely was scared by being awakened after who knows how many centuries. Of rest while I cannot agree with the termination of an endangered species this thing is an apex predator and one that hasn't been seen in centuries.
So I am in agreement to kill it if no better options are made." Tanya says glaring at the Jedi.
Nodding at her doge turned back to the Jedi.
"Will you help us too or not." He says annoyed.
"We cannot kill a life form especially if it's the last of its kind." Windu says calmly.
"Then There will be no treaty." Urus says finally as he exits the room.
Tanya then stands up and gets her hat turning to walk out as windu grabs her hand.
"Please Marshall be reasonable in your decision." Be begs.
Tanya simply pulls her hand back goring at them. "This is your fault Jedi I never asked for that bomb now I'm stuck cleaning up the mess so either help me or get out of my way." She says angrily walking away to join her staff in planning on how to kill it.
(Time skip).
After discussing with strategic HQ for a few hours a Dug walks up to her.
"His majesty Wishes to see you." He says briefly.
Nodding Tanya turns off the communicator and heads to follow the dug back to Urus's tent.
Pushing the flaps aside she spots Urus with a holo pad.
"What's this." She asks picking it up.
"Our thanks for earth wanting to help us. That is a treaty that will allow earth to have free access to our fuel reserves and the right to establish a military force here." He says with a smile.
Tanya grins. Strategic research had learned that malastare fuel could be processed to a hyper fuel for factories and machines.
"Then on behalf of the council I sign this deal." Tanya replies with a grateful smile.
"Excellent now we have theorized if you were to put our fuel into your artillery cannons we can use it in more lethal doses to kill the beast swiftly." Doge urus says once again raising the Zillo beast issue.
"Got it I'll have my men begin to process it at once." She says activating her comm for engineers.
"Yes mam." The leader says saluting after running over.
"Load up tank shells with malastare fuel and have mages assist you in making sure the fuel doesn't blow up during the process." She orders.
Nodding the engineers grab canisters of the fuel handed to them by the dugs.
After 5 hours they had a small number ready to go but then Tanya spots dozens of RX-200 tanks approaching the sink hole.
"HEY STOP." Imperial soldiers yell as they race to form a line in front of the tanks.
"What is going on here." Tanya demands followed by doge urus.
Out of the lead tank Anakin and windu appear. "We are taking care of the beast." Anakin says. "Now stand aside." He growls.
"No we already have a plan and you refused to help us earlier so why now." Tanya says angrily pointing at them as her officers glare at the two Jedi.
"A change of heart now move." Anakin demands again.
"Once again no. Weiss make sure they don't move Koenig get our tanks ordered them to advance and fire.
"Mam we only have 8 shells though ready to go." Koenig replies.
"I know." She says while turning to doge Urus. "Have your men's open the valves while we fire." She instructs.
Nodding doge signals to his men while Koenig grabs the tanks.
"Your authority here no longer matters," Visha says coldly. As Tanya pulls up the holo tab.
Windu and anakins eyes widen at the contents. "As of now earth and the treaty and since your so keen on just circumventing my authority we had no reason to tell your precious chancellor we got it." Tanya says calmly while signaling the tanks forward and directing them to fire.
'No they're gonna kill it.' Windu thinks worriedly.
"Open the valves." Doge yells seeing the fourth
Shell fire.
Seeing this and hearing the beasts cries windu turns to Tanya "Order them to stop." He demands.
Tanya is about to angrily retort as windu draws his light saber and aims it at her throat. "NOW." He demands.
Before Tanya or Visha can react a loud roar echoes around them as the beast weakened exits the hole.
"Fire." Anakin orders as the tanks fire their blasts as Tanya turns to her men.
"Protect the dugs." She orders as they race to to get the dugs to safety.
With the beast being weakened by the tank shells it falls asleep way sooner.
After the whole ordeal Tanya is summoned to the palace where doge urus stands beside the Jedi and a hologram of palpatine and Emperor Wilhelm and master Yoda.
"Ah esteemed Marshall Tanya Degurechauf I wished to apologize for our actions in overstepping our boundaries in this battle." He says with faked sincerity akin to a politician.
"Oh your too kind chancellor." Tanya replied venomously. "Because of your overstep you nearly cost the Dugs everything they protect and further more over this entire battle the Jedi competently ignored my authority and rank I understand the republic and earth are different but I was not informed of most of their plans."
"Apologize the Jedi keep you in secrecy again we will not." Yoda replied.
Tanya nodded accepting the old Jedis apology because it was at least sincere.
"Now onto other matters about the beast I have chosen a safe sanctuary for it to be on coruscant." Palaptine continues.
This shocked the entire room.
"Chancellor what if it wakes up again." Anakin says but bites his younger when he realized the emperor, Urus and Tanya were glaring at him.
"What do you mean wake up it's dead." Doge urus says angrily.
"Yes it is most definitely dead." Palpatine says hurriedly.
Tanya however steps forward. "So if I take a team of mages out there and we scan it we shouldn't find any trace of it being alive right." She says snarling.
When no one replies she activated her comm.
"Visha take 5 mages and scan that Beasts body now maximum sensitivity." She demands.
"Yes mam." She replies.
After an awkward silence windu speaks up. "So about that treaty." He says turning to doge Urus.
"Denied." Doge urus Growls. "You ignored my wishes and you awakened a terrible monster upon my people and undermined Marshall Tanya who was in over all command here.
The council will only accept the treaty to be with earth." He says glaring at the Jedi.
The republic officials tensed they were good allies with earth but they had easily shaken trust in them by their actions in this battle.
Suddenly Emperor Wilhelm smirked. "We will however agree to let the republic have access to what we will get under one condition." He says as everyone leans faces him.
"That beast will be relocated to the mountain world of Kultona in the Androva system and under earths jurisdiction the republic may study it but Any attempt to over step their authority will result in complete withdraw of fuel aid." He says with his arms crossed.
"Agreed." Palpatine says tensely.
With the new treaty signed the Zillo beasts as moved to an isolated world never to be bothered again under the Earths protection.
The republic however was frustrated as it demented earth was getting more independent day in and day out.
An: hope you enjoyed and I hope you all had a wonderful thanks giving.
